Hey folks, here's a quick sneak peek screenshot of the app. It’s not at the MVP stage just yet, but we’ve cast the line and it’s definitely in motion. Tight lines!

Hi everyone, I'm opening this separate thread so the app idea stays in one place instead of mixing it with my introduction. I'm validating an Android fishing app idea before building too much. There is no released app, no download and nothing to sell. I'm trying to collect honest feedback from real anglers first. The idea is not about exposing secret spots. It is almost the opposite: a private fishing log, map notes, catches, venue notes, swims, session logs, bait notes and swim privacy by default unless the angler chooses otherwise. Short survey: https://decide.mofa.org.es/en/ What I'm trying to understand: - Would something like this be useful? - What would make you distrust it? - What features would be unnecessary? - Does "private by default" make sense for fishing spots? - Are access routes and trip notes actually useful, or overthinking it? I'll use this thread to share progress, future surveys or important changes without spamming the forum. Honest criticism is more useful than building the wrong thing. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm Caprini, from Spain. I mostly fish freshwater: shore fishing, reservoirs, a bit of carp fishing, small predators, float fishing and fly fishing when I can. I'm joining to learn from real fishing communities and understand how anglers actually organize trips, keep notes, find access routes and protect their spots. I'm also validating an Android fishing app idea, but I'm not here to sell anything. There is no app released, no download and no product to promote. I'll keep things respectful and will use one separate thread if the forum allows it, so I don't mix the app discussion with my introduction. Thanks for having me.

Have you got a drone now mate?

For my late July trip to Belgium I've just bought the Nash Tarp, so we have some shade in the daytime and 2 of the Wolf Fans for the bivvies which seem to work well. I also got the Aqua Pioneer 150, to go alongside my Ultralite, justified by saying it's for my son on this trip but really it's for me in winter when you want a slightly bigger shelter for the additional stuff taken. 😂👍

2 items for those longer sessions 2 burner stover (with toaster) from the range - bargain price of £30 after £20 off. Portable toilet as none of the club lakes have a toilet.

A lot of tackle companies use a basic depiction of a carp with their logo or brand superimposed across the flank of the fish. You might be able to 'borrow' legitimately the fish image and simply add your own name

Depending on your morals you could either pinch from here davidmillerart.co.uk or ask if you could use one or 2 for your private use and he may send you a file for a couple of quid so you could get a decent picture put on it. would look better than the crappy ones you see on the internet.

Damn these fish they just don't care about an angler's comfort ! . Good on you for putting Sky's needs first . 😃

I tried that last weekend, setting up in the shade of a big elm tree, and blanked. Last year I created a bivvy spot right under the willows and again, the fish seemed to avoid the area. On both occasions the fish caught were in the brightest and sunniest spots. I would say that I should have moved, but with Sky I refused as I would much rather she was comfortable as possible, and unless I tell her will lay in the sun all day and overheat.

I love the look of this Firm one

I'm not particularly a Johnny Cash fan but this one blew me away. The poor old bloke looks like he has one foot in the grave and the song reads like a deathbed confession. Not very often a song moves me so much, it brought tears to my eyes.

I searched for ages and found these two options. The first one is embroidery, and the second is print. I plan to talk to the supplier to check the renderings first.

Depends on how badly you want to catch ‘em lol sometimes life’s too short.

Oh no ! , in other words I can't just plonk myself down in the nearest shady spot I've got to actually put the effort in , how disappointing . Still good guidance as well as Kev , and Golden Paws .

I was out Sunday early and had a good result whilst it was overcast (see July Catch Reports), but ibthink that was very much down to local conditions. The club shut all fishing as of 11pm last night die to hugh water temps and their concern over DO, so I can't fish my preferred venue. I'm not sure I would go out locally right now. Its 30 outside as I write this and forecast up to 33/34 later today and throughout the week. Just unpacking the car, getting to the swim and setting up can be very unpleasant in this weather.

I hope your session turns out much better than you are anticipating , Golden Paws . Thanks for the tips . 😃

Thanks very much , Kev , top tips there . From a Grey / Ginger 😁

Made me chuckle😅

Don't guess..... Treat it like any other session and try to find the carp. If you can't find them, I'd start on the end of the wind but be ready to move on any sighting. Imo deep water is not the one in high temps but hey.... I've seen them show up in the oddest of places at the oddest times of year! 20C+ is bad for oxygen but good for digestion/feeding.... but digestion uses lots of oxygen (lol). Swings and roundabouts mate. All you can do is find them and fish for them.
